Awarded For: Awarded for Grand Champion Angus Bull.

Donated By: First donated by William F Reid, Fordhouse of Dun, Montrose, Scotland for the Grand Champion Angus Bull, to be won on three consecutive occasions or five times in all. In 1959 Mr Reid was invited to judge Angus at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, where his efforts in the Show Ring were highly acclaimed. William Reid was, in his own words, overwhelmed with the hospitality shown to him by Australian Aberdeen Angus members. So affected with the friendly welcome he received he felt compelled to leave some sort of Scots memento in Australia. And so he donated the Fordhouse Bowl as a Perpetual Trophy for annual competition at the Royal Easter Show. First presented in 1962. HG Munro won the trophy outright in 1967 and re-donated it in 1970 as a Perpetual Trophy.
